Odd communication from admissions

@Northeastern University

Dear (name),

Our records indicate that your application is missing critical information needed for the Fall 2016 Admissions Committee review:

Proof of English Proficiency

All documents must be received by December 1, after which time incomplete applications will be deferred to be reviewed under Regular Decision.

TOEFL yadda yadda complete your application yadda yadda fee waivers

Sincerely,

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions
Northeastern University

I’m sure this would be normal, for any international applicant who isn’t:

-A US citizen;
-A native English speaker (as I indicated on the Common App);
-Enrolled in an English-speaking school (for the past decade+); and, last but not least
-Earning top marks in IB English HL.

Is there any earthly reason I would need to take the TOEFL or an equivalent test? Does the University require some additional documentation beyond the above?

Maybe you should simply call the admissions office. It’s possible that applying from abroad got you in a certain category.
